Bet you love playing that mando! Banjo too? Well it looks like you have been having some fun the months you've been gone. Good to hear a new one Kyle, love the song. It has all my favorite instruments and packaged just like I like 'em!

Great job singing. The mix sounds pretty good here in my studio set up. The instruments are well recorded. Well done man!

Wayne

This was quite enjoyable Alex. Such a nice laid back rnb groove. Both of your talents work well together, the song sounds great! The low tones of the keys almost go unnoticed but they add a lot, nicely mixed!

Wayne

I can certainly hear a connection with the original score with the appegiated synth. The song and the recording are very cool and it sounds great here on my speakers, nice full mix. Interesting updated version of the original, like a club mix, sorta.

When I tried the FL demo years ago I was able to export about 1.5 minutes of a mix through the Edison plugin somehow. It allowed me to save at least the basic idea while I tried the software.

So far so good, hope you finish this off!

Wayne

Very interesting approach and I liked the track. I felt the kick in the end could use a change like ZankFrappa mentioned, if anything just for some variation. In Ableton's orchestral pack the timpani sounds are great, just used some myself.

Mix sounds pretty good. It is creepy and a bit weird but cinematic no doubt. Well done!

Wayne

Pretty cool rock track. Certainly liked the tempo change, that is not an easy thing to do, I concur. I thought the marimba and the synth shared similar freqs or are close so I might suggest eq or something to separate those two sounds a bit, maybe panning would work?

The tune cranks and the bass really steals the show, your usual means of musical destruction. I wish you knew a singer in your parts that would lay down some cool vocals for you, it would really bring your tracks to a new level.

Well done Evan!

Wayne

I like the main chord progression the song has, it is easy to like. As well as the vocals, something familiar about them I like. They sound like Graham Parker a bit, he has a great voice I think. Your delivery is clean and the words are easily understandable.

I like this kind of rock, rhythm based with some great melodies along side a cranking lead. Cool bass, liked the acoustic guitar a lot, just the right amount of each guitar and mixed well. The song is quite catchy, I gave it a few listens and plan to dl this one. Once again you guys hit the mark with this track!

Great job Bear and Mark for putting this together and thanks for sharing Guys!

Wayne

That is cool you gave this a go and tried Joe's funk style mixed with an element of your influences. Some cool changes and breaks. Sound like some retro/disco funk-alicious dance music from the 80's. I would have to say your mission was accomplished, sounds like Free Funktastic music to me!

Wayne

Not only did you create the music but the instruments to play the music on, too cool man.

Can't say I have any cd's or albums with music like this on it but it doesn't mean I don't like it or can't appreciate what went into putting this track together. It's upbeat and fun and unique, perfect! nice one Spiv!

Wayne

Sorry Scott. I hit play and the song won't play for me for some reason, must be something wrong with the player. I will try again tomorrow.

Welcome to the Loop Ether Blu! I have never heard the original but if it sounds anything like this than that is great as well. Great job mixing in the vocals, they have some cool effects as well. The production is excellent, very impressive track.

Enjoy your stay here, look forward to hearing more!

Wayne

Hey Mr. Darkrein, been a while since I've seen you, hope all is well!

I think the singing added quite a bit to the song. Nice voice too, nice big reverb/delay on them. Ed is a great musician and the song as an instrumental stands on its own.

Hope all is good on loop radio, see you around!

Wayne

Sad news about AllenV, saw him recently on here so he must be doing better. Miss ya Allen!

This still rocks out! Great electronic and live music combined, this works!!

Wayne

Right off the bat the snappy snare made me happy! Nice track overall, everything from composition to performance to production is top notch. This has a great relaxed feel and a positive vibe. Nice keys as well. Way to go TG!

Wayne

You old softy. Trying to pluck people's heartstrings, aren't you?

My opinion is that keeping things fresh, new and different is the key to making music and growing as an artist. This track would be a perfect track in a set or album list that gives the listener a break from your usually more rambunctious style and then sets up a return to a more rockin' track. It can't always be at 10, can it?

Thought the drums could have had a bit more punch, maybe some more variety as well. I am very guilty of using only one drum loop through a song so it's like I'm throwing stones in a glass house. It's cool to keep things simple though and let other things shine.

I wouldn't say this is the best work I've heard from you but I like that it is different from your other work and incorporates some of your particular sound you have. Keep experimenting and trying new things and start wailing on that ax!!

Wayne

Nice job! That guitar is telling a wonderful story. Nice production and composition. Guitar was really well played, lots of feeling.

Wayne

Has a very new world music sort of feel to it, carefree and a light mood. The transition at 1:27 seemed like too much of an abrupt change happening there. Maybe slowly dropping some things along the way and a smoother transition into the percussion part like maybe adding of a pad or something. Pretty cool idea though, liked the overall feel to it.

Look out, next year you will be a teenager!

Wayne

Very well constructed song. Lots to keep me interested with the build up of dynamics and the subtle nuances of the piano. Great playing and nice mix, inspirational track, just wonderful!

Wayne

This kept me so interested, what was I going to hear next? The horns were a nice touch but the drums, for me, stole the show. Cool percussion as well. I like big band music so this was a cool cross-genre bonanza!

Pretty cool track, gonna dl this one so thanks for sharing PiiiE!

Wayne

Hey Ian, it's been a while seeing you here, hope all is well!

Still pumping out your sound, cool sounding guitars and a recognizable vocal style. Good to see you!

Wayne

Pretty sweet track already Mr. Wiggles! Great build up and emotional aspects to create a powerful track so far. Strings and vocal pad are so nice, well it all is actually!! Great track to listen to on Christmas morning, gave it an uplifting feeling!

Wayne

Great intro, lol! I have about 20 christmas cd's and none of them sound like this. :) Great stuff, made my morning!

Merry xmas!

Wayne

You are here to pump me up and get my Christmas off to a rousing beginning! I thought the fist part would make a good stand alone song, it was that good. Mix sounds great, cool transitions and effects, especially the one around 9 minutes.

Take care man!

Wayne

Even though it is electronic in nature it has a very organic feel to it, a bit tribal even. Cool track.

Wayne

Pretty creative singing tracks and an ambitious composition. You have some talent, good luck developing it!

Wayne

That new guitar in places gave the song a bit of a western feel to the track. The rhythm you were playing also reminded me of a sound the Clash were using when they were in NYC exploring early hiphop and electronic music, just some bigger effects. You must be proud of your accomplishments!

Nice job with the loops!

Merry Christmas!
